The draw for the 2024 CHAN tournament has been released, with Nigeria landing in Group D alongside Senegal, Sunday and Congo Brazzaville. The group has four teams, while the other groups have five. Nigeria’s return to the tournament after a six-year absence adds excitement to Group D.

The group to watch out for is Group A, which consists of co-hosts Kenya, two-time champions Morocco, Angola, DR Congo, and Zambia. The tournament has been postponed until August, making the anticipation even greater.

However, the biggest question in Belgium now is whether Genk will repeat the same mistake they made two years ago when they sold Paul Onuachu for a considerable amount of money and subsequently saw their season crumble. With the possibility of selling Tolu Arokodare, who has been performing well, to Benfica, Genk fans are keeping their fingers crossed.

There could also be a clash of the Super Eagles in the Champions League playoffs, with Ademola Lookman of Atalanta and Raphael Onyedika of Club Brugge potentially leading their teams against each other.

Taiwo Awoniyi, who has struggled to find playing time at Nottingham Forest, is now being linked to a potential move to Everton or West Ham in the Premier League. The Super Eagles striker has only scored one goal in 20 appearances for his current team this season.

Meanwhile, Victor Boniface seems to be cursed with injuries as he has missed out on several opportunities to play for Nigeria due to injuries. He was notably dropped from the final roster for the 2023 AFCON due to a major injury in training camp.

On a positive note, Nathan Tella has achieved a significant milestone in his career, scoring his first ever UEFA Champions League goal for Bayer Leverkusen. This is an impressive feat for the player who was playing in the second-tier league in England just two years ago
